rEd mozziE: PEARL JAM - "OFFICIAL BOOTLEGS" =)

BACK

During their 2k tour, Pearl Jam got one up on the bootleggers by releasing all 72 shows from their European and North America tour as official bootlegs. This was an attempt to "bootleg the bootleggers" by offering the live shows at an affordable price with higher quality recordingsˇ =)

"Our expectations are low," singer Eddie Vedder says. "It's not for everybody. But a lot of people out there buy bootlegs, and it's risky, because you can spend a lot of money and get very poor quality. I used to buy them online for 35 bucks and get lousy sound. At least there's some consistency here. If you're going to hear our mistakes, you might as well hear them clearly." extract frm USA Today [Edna Gundersen 31/08/00]

Who knows whether the band will make all their live shows available in the future as they have done now .. but below are the official bootlegs which have been made available through www.tenclub.net and www.pearljambootlegs.com. I think its freakin' unreal how the band have been able to make their live shows available the way they have done .. THANK YOUˇ
